i'm watching the news and they are talking about people camping out for this thing. is anyone here actually going to get it. some news channel figured it out and with the cost of the phone and plan it's going to be about 2000 dollars for the first 2 years of your contract

my boss is getting it as soon as it comes out but I think that it is a compleat waste of money. I do not understand why cell phones need all this shit like internet on it and all that.

i wouldn't get the first generation
apple doesn't really have any experience with phones
there are most likely going to be some bugs
also, kinda pricey

wow, just becuase it has the I infront of it doesn't mean its gods gift to man. there are plenty of phones that are equal or more reliable and have better features.

im not saying anything bad about the revolutionary stuff that it does have in it. but in the end its only a glorified smart phone. does it have office suite in it as a program for word, excel, outlook?
